The dream started the way it always started

"What do you see, Corazon?"

The voice that spoke so caled to Barbara, the hypnotherapist whoht In" serass and stuff like that But mostly just mud"

"Are you sure she&039;s under?" Patsy asked, her voice filled with suspicion Pats was always a doubter "She doesn&039;t look hypnotized to me CORA! Can you hear me?"

"I&039;d have to be five miles away not to hear you I&039;lared atat her

"Wait just one second" Patsy stopped glaring and pointed dramatically at where I lay prone on the couch "You&039;re not supposed to hear me!"

"Is she supposed to know she&039;s hypnotized?"

That was Terri, the third member of our little trio of terror, as my ex-husband used to call us

The bastard

"Her knowing doesn&039;t negate the regression, does it?" Terri asked Barbara

"Hypnotis," Barbara said calmly "She is simply relaxed, in touch with her true inner spirit, and has opened up her mind to the many memories of lifetimes past I assure you that she is properly hypnotized"

"Letover to a bookcase crammed full of books and various other ite it"

"No one is poking !" I sat up, prepared to sprint to safety if she sosharp and pointy

"Please, ladies" I didn&039;t see Barbara show any signs of rushing, but I knew she wanted to hurry us along so she could leave "We have liht trance, also referred to as an alpha state Through that, she has tapped into her higher self, her true Infinite Being, a state in which she is free to bypass the boundaries of ti back down on the couch Even though it was a dreahten at as to come "So sit back and watch the show What do I do now, Barbara?"

"Look around you Exas Tell us what you see, what you feel"

"I see mud I feel mud I am the mud"

"There has to beon popcorn

My sto I felt it, felt the horror just on the edges of s or other structures around to give you an idea of what year you are reliving?" Barbara asked

"U on the left side other than forest I see on a dirt path of some sort Let me walk to the top of this little hill - oh! Wow! There&039;s a ton below And it looks like there&039;s a castle way up on a tall cliff in the distance Lots of tiny little people are running around in some fields outside of the town Cool! It&039;s like a o down to say hi"

"Excellent," Barbara said "Now tell me, how do you feel? "

Sick Scared Terrified

"Well,"any of the dreary Kind of an intense hunger, throbbing inside reat, I&039; peasant who stands around in ments on our past selves," Barbara said pri on my feet "Terri turned out to be Cleopatra&039;s personal maid, and I was one of Caesar&039;s concubines You&039;re letting down the team, babe The least you could do is be a "

I couldn&039;tbecause of hih me as my voice continued "I have shoes on Peasants didn&039;t wear shoes, did they?"

"So a handful of popcorn into her mouth

"Can you walk to the town?" Barbara asked "Perhaps we can find out who you are if we knohere you are"

"Yeah I&039; down the hill now"

A low ru the cushions of the couch "Hey, watch where you&039;re - oh od! OMIGOD!"

"What? What&039;s happened?" Barbara asked, sounding suddenly worried

She should

"A woman with an oxcart just ran me over"

"What?" Patsy shrieked

"She ranThey just caht over the top ofand - Jehoshaphat! My head just caht off! Ack!"

I knew in e, a handful of popcorn frozen just beyond her awked at the words that came unbidden from my mouth

If only she knew

"Oh, ression," Barbara said, sounding stressed "I&039;m not quite sure how to proceed"

"You&039;redecapitated? " Patsy asked "Are you sure? "

"I&039;m sure, Pats My head&039;s separated from my body, which is covered in ox hoofprints A wheel went over ross Why the hell do I get the reincarnations where I&039;m killed by two bulls and a cart? Why can&039;t I be Cleopatra&039;s concubine?"

"Personalthe popcorn into herfrantically "Are you absolutely certain you&039;re dead? Maybe it looks worse than it is"

Oh, it&039;s going to get much, much worse, the dream part of my mind said

Goose bumps rose on my arms

"My head is three feet away froood indicator of death - good god! Nohat&039;s she doing?"

"The ox?" Patsy asked

"No, the driver She&039;s not doing what I think she&039;s doing, is she?"

"I don&039;t know," Terri said, setting down the popcorn so she could scoot over closer to me

"This is very unusual," Barbara ? " Patsy said, proddingto stickto do any good No, you can&039;t tie it on, either Ha Told you so Oh, don&039;t drop h? What a butterfingers Now she&039;s chasing the oxen, who just bolted for a field Oh, no, she&039;s co, only I can&039;t hear anything Itmy head severed by a cart wheel"

"This is just too surreal," Terri said "Do you think she purposely ran you down?"

"I don&039;t think so She see and fell onto hty, this is like some horrible Marx Brothers meets Leatherface sort of movie Holy runaway oxen, Batman!"

"What?" Terri and Patsy asked at the sa weird"

"Ohlove to your lifeless corpse?" Terri asked "I saw a show on HBO about that!"

"No, she&039;s nother hands around and chanting or so He was just out of ht, just beyond the curve of the hill

He was death

"Don&039;t get upset," Barbara said "You are in no personal danger Just describe what you&039;re seeing calmly, and in detail"

"I don&039;t know about you, but I consider a decapitation and barbecue as soer"

"Barbecue?" Patsy asked "So?"
